"About two years ago I gained and lost 70 lbs," said Jonathan C. Miller, Founder and Executive Director of Miller Gold, "It was at that point that I decided to join the fight against obesity and my weapon of choice is FitTech."

Fitness technology makes it easy for people to set goals, track activity and measure success.
